Email - Options for Alumni

This article explains email options for University alumni.

Set Up your CNetID and Password

Start by creating a Alumni CNetID at https://cnet.uchicago.edu/alumnicreate/. While creating your CNetID, you will also set up the target address for your forwarding. There will also be menu items for changing your password and question and answer set on this menu.

Update your Alumni Email Forwarding Address

Previously, alumni who had username@alumni.uchicago.edu addresses could control their email forwarding without having a CNetID. This could cause confusion, as alumni are also now eligible for alumni CNetIDs that provide campus wireless, control of a cnetid@uchicago.edu email address, and access to the alumniandfriends.uchicago.edu website!
IT Services has thus streamlined this process by merging old username@alumni.uchicago.edu email addresses with CNetIDs. Alumni may claim a CNetID using the above links, then adjust their forwarding as needed. When you adjust the forwarding for your cnetid@uchicago.edu email address, your username@alumni.uchicago.edu email address will automatically change as well.
